Answer:
to get x by itself so divide 5 by 2 and then add 7 to the other side
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-7=5
x-7=2.5
x=2.5+7
x=9.5
For the second question, your first option is correct, you would rewrite 8 in power-base form 8=2^3 as the first step to solving the equation, power base form is exponential form.
Answer:
If he includes himself then:
Split up the cookies into 4 equal parts.
3.75 cookies each if he includes himself.
If he does not include himself:
Split up the cookies into 3 equal parts
5 cookies each if he shares to his friends without including himself.
<h2>4500 x 6700-577=30149423</h2>
Sure, here is how I broke it down. The bird is flying a constant X miles per hour with a wind speed of Y miles per hour. So, there are two equations that you use to solve. Here they are:
X+Y=12
X-Y=4
Now, you have to use substitution or elimination to solve (I will use elimination). To use elimination, you simply add both equations together to get:
2X=16
Solve for X by dividing by 2.
X=8. We already established that X is the speed of the bird. Plug X back into either of the equations to find the windspeed.
(8)+Y=12
Subtract 8 from both sides.
Y=4. We already established that Y is the windspeed.
So, the speed of the bird (X) is 8mph and the speed of the wind (Y) is 4mph.
Hope this helped!!
